Abstract

An endoscope device includes an endoscope tube having a forward head piece and a flexible eversion tube for moving the head piece into a channel-like body cavity by means of fluid pressure. The eversion tube has an outer portion; a turning portion engaging the head piece; and a rearwardly extending inner portion. A first fluid pressure is exerted in a space between the outer portion and the inner portion of the eversion tube, which space is sealed from ambient surroundings. A second fluid pressure is exerted in a space between the endoscope tube and a rearwardly extending inner portion of the eversion tube.
